Today I will share with you a card that I recently made for a swap.
The card swap was for fall themed cards, and since I am working on an upcoming punch art class I decided to create a little punch art card.
First step was creating the cauldron. I used the circle and word window punches.

As you can see I cut the top 1/3 off of the circle to create the top of the pot.

Next I put the cauldron together and created the flames coming out using the orange and white twine in the Holiday mini.

This is a view from the back side.

Next I worked on the card base.

I took a piece of smokey slate and embossed the eyes from the Freaky Friends set in white.

Next I used the dot mask and sponged on some basic grey ink.

Then I began to assemble the card. I stamped the witch image and fussy cut around.

I added a strip of DSP with black border, just to add some contrast to the card.

Here is the final card.

I think it turned out pretty spooky!

Stamp Happy - and be back on Friday for a easy Halloween treat holder!

It comes once a month in a cute orange box delivered right to your mailbox.

At the beginning, to be honest, I wasn't impressed with it, but then I went to convention and saw all of the amazing changes they have done with the kits.

So I wanted to show you the August kit.

This is a picture of all of the goodies that came in the August box. There were 4 large card bases, 4 small card bases, brads, sequins, envelopes, stamps, ink pad, twine, etc.

Plus there is an instruction sheet with pictures, so you are sure you are getting it done right.

So here are two cards I made using the kit as the directions show you.

BUT the awesome thing is you can also be SUPER creative with the left over pieces!

So here I went a little CRAZY and made a cute card for my hubby. He has been working extra hard around the homestead lately and I just wanted him to know I appreciate it.

SUPER CUTE, RIGHT!!

So until September 10th, SU is giving you an awesome deal to try My Paper Pumpkin. Two kits at 50% off. And if for some reason you don't like it after the two months, you can cancel. You aren't tried down, so why not give it a try?? $20 for two months of crafting fun!
